Changes to SAS – Hertz Promotion

To qualify, you must reserve your car by June 30, 2017, and rent by September 30, 2017.

Originally, the terms and conditions stated that you must rent for at least 1 full day. But now, a qualifying rental must be at least 3 full days, for rentals in the US and Canada! That makes it a lot harder to rack-up lots of SAS points cheaply.

That said, Frequent Miler also reports that he already received the bonus points for the 1-day rentals he completed before the rules changed. That’s encouraging!

But we can’t guarantee you’ll earn bonus points for 1-day rentals that were booked, but not completed, before the terms changed. Although taking advantage of this deal could still be worth it if you have multiple 3+ day Hertz rentals coming up. Or if you have 1-day rentals outside the US and Canada.

But they changed the terms of the deal, and now, a qualifying rental in the US or Canada must be at least 3 full days. And we aren’t sure whether you’ll earn bonus points for bookings that were made, but not completed, before the changes went into effect.

Do you still plan on taking advantage of this promotion? Let me know in the comments!
